With a pocket full of plane tickets and vag full of dreams, Planet Bitchy is leaving Australia.
I know right… What?! Booooo! Why can’t I stop crying??? What am I gonna do with my life?! Should I see a gynaecologist about this?!
Likeee sooooo true babes, but also, we would NEVER leave without saying goodbye and letting you all know how much you mean to us. Ergo, we declare the 2nd of August officially ‘Bye Bye Bitchy’ day at the Retreat.
To hold our hands and wipe our tears we’ve asked animal enthusiasts, The Salmon Sisters and Pet Therapy, to join us in this celebration of love.
It’s gonna be hard and also wet, but together we will get through this.
Love forever and always and especially on the 2nd of August at the Retreat,
Planet Bitchy (Emphasis on “Planet”)
